â€œBonk has had a huge following ever since he was the mascot character for the TurboGrafx system in the 90â€™s, and the number one request we get from our fans is to bring him back,â€ said John Greiner, president of Hudson Entertainment. â€œBonk going mobile paves the way for us to introduce this crazy caveman to a new generation of fans, and we have plans for more Bonk games on multiple platforms.â€
